You shouldnt have bought in the first place... If you are not confident of keeping him...

Anyway, what tankmates are you keeping with him... SH requires a species tank and slow moving tankmates...

It will take sometime to get feeding... Try to feed with small FW shrimp... Do read up more if you wanna keep seahorse... They are delicate creature...

Anyway Upz for your sale... And hope the buyer knows how to keep him...

Try to get those small FW shrimp if you are still keen in keeping him... How long you got it... It dun eat easily if it is stressed... There is alot of factor that make them feel reluctant to eat... Since most of them are feeling liao, it should start feeding if you continue to entice him...

ok i try

i just got him for 4 days

duno leh

it seems weaker

sigh

where got sell FW shrimp

You can easily find FW shrimp at most LFS... Chose a bag with the small shrimps... Or if not packed can ask them to catch smaller ones...

Just drop it near him, it will stalk the shrimp if there is no disturbance....

Btw, its tankmates will play a big part too...

where got sell FW shrimp

Hi SC88,

i have also purchased from 2 seahorse from LCK last saturday, my is bigger than your ! :D

IMO, select slightly bigger is better, so it is easy to feed with frozen brine shrimp(BS) else you have to look for smaller BS.

My personnel experience,

You can try mixed the frozen brine shrimp with seachem ENTRICE and GARLIC for one day before feeding them. i have personally try it and work for my 5 MI and 2 seahorse lor :P:D:lol:

My MI eat like pig and the seahorse do eat also, about 6~8 BS per feed, 3 times a day.

Hope it work for u.... <_<

Hi LoReNsIa,

I know that BS is not so good, but it has to kick starts first lor. If the SH can eat BS, i think it is more easy to try Frozen mysis lor.

Btw, I hv mixed with zooplankton too. Hopefully can train to take pellet formula one dry food! ;):P:D:lol:

the one that sells some corals and fishes?

the quite tall short hair aunite ah?

Hello,

Poor horse is very timid and lonely. You should atleast get 2. Horses don't like fast swimming tankmates. They would compete for food and horses are slow or reluctant in chasing food. Don't mix it with any fast moving fishes if you can. Is easier to train it in a horse tank alone.

I would take it if you are loooooosing interest but must be atleast feeding for past few days.

Cheer!
